Angie ordered their food and the two friends took Jessica's boxes to the room.

Jessica called her parents to let them know she had landed and her mum also talked to Angie, thanking her for looking out for Jessica.

Jessica and Angie started talking about what had happened to her, starting from Misha and James, how they had pretended to befriend her just for them to hurt her.

Jessica told Angie about her suspicions that Edwin might be connected to the whole plot but Angie told her not to look at it that way.

Their food arrived and Angie set the table for them. Jessica ate a lot of the food which Angie understood was due to her present situation because she knew Jessica always watched what she eats but she didn't want to raise it because she didn't want her to feel bad.

    Around 11 am the following morning, Angie woke up sluggishly on the bed. She opened her eyes slowly looking for Jessica beside her but couldn't find her. The ray of light shone through the window and she closed her eyes again, feeling lazy to stand up.“ Are you still sleeping? What time did you go to bed last night?” Jessica asked with raised brows, staring at Angie on the bed.“ Around 2 am I guess umm-umm,” Angie answered, yawning.“ Wow, were you able to complete the work?

    Jessica rubbed her bulged stomach softly. She was feeling slight discomfort these days. She sighed as she caressed the stomach. While she typed furiously on the laptop before her, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower region."Ah." She gasped aloud. She felt the water burst and soak her clothes. Luckily, she was wearing a dark-colored dress so it wasn't going to be very obvious. She quickly called for Angie to come. Angie wasted no time in arriving at the scene. She saw Jessica's condition."Breathe baby." She encouraged her. Jessica felt the sharp pain increase and she yelped. Angie tried to calm her down.

"You know, I totally knew about the engagement and I shipped you guys! I gave him all the assurance he needed! You should have seen him. He was a sorry mess." Jessica glared playfully at her. "Oh so you knew and you refused to tell me? I knew something was fishy about the sudden request to go out."Edwin laughed and pulled her closer to his side. Before she could refute it, he turned her and kissed her deeply. Jessica's face went a very dark shade of red and she didn't know where to keep her face after being kissed like that in public."Pervert." She muttered."Baby, your husband to be?

Jessica continued paying him because he had only entered that state because of the kids.Friday before the weekend, Edwin watched Jessica perform all her duties and his heart fluttered. He couldn't take his mind off the fact that she cared about him enough to stay beside him in the hospital, refusing to let him be touched by anyone else except her.

    Babe, have you showered or changed since the accident?" Edwin asked."I couldn't leave your side," Jessica answered sheepishly."Well, I'm awake now. Go and shower and change and then you can return to stay with me." Edwin said. Jessica smiled. She went into the second part of the ward without much thought. Not long after, she returned with a different cloth."Have you had your changing materials the whole time?" Edwin demanded weakly.Jessica nodded."So why didn't you just change?"Jessica ignored his question. Couldn't he understand that she couldn't leave him for once Edwin tapped the space beside him. "Come lay with me." Jessica didn't waste any time. She was very exhausted too and knowing that he had survived the gunshot was able to keep her at rest.She lay beside him, careful not to touch any of the bandages or the IVs.

    Once they arrived at the hospital, Jessica watched as the nurses ran out with a stretcher where they carefully placed Edwin. They wheeled him directly into the theatre to prepare him for the operation. Jessica was invited in by the doctor before the operation could commence."Miss, I just want you to sign the documents for the operation and perform the transfer of funds." The doctor said, "There's no need to ask if you want it to be carried out because I can see that you will do anything to save your husband."Jessica tore a check from her checkbook in her purse and signed it. "Here, fill in the amount that covers the entire treatment. I just want him to be fine."The doctor collected the check and the signed paper from her.

    It was morning already. Jessica's eyes were wide open. She hadn't slept a wink all night. She didn't just refuse to sleep, she couldn't sleep. As much as her heart was calmer, she still couldn't digest the fact that it was getting to 24 hours since she last saw her children.Edwin was busy making calls here and there, trying to use every one of his influence to find them.He received a call from his private detective."Hello, Mr. Turner.""Mr. Detective. Tell me you've found them." Edwin said tiredly. "Eh.. we found the location. I'll send them to you. I've also assigned some officers to get there as well. I will also ask you to be careful because that's the outskirts of the city. Anyone who could kidnap kids and take them there could be a maniac.""Alright detective. I'll be on my way right now." Edwin said.As soon as Edwin dropped the call, his phone beeped with a text message from the detective. Reading the location, he went to find Jessica in the kitchen fetching water to drink.

    In no time, Jessica heard a knock on the door. She quickly ran to check. She found Edwin at the door. The man pulled her into a hug the moment he saw her. Jessica began to cry. Her heart shattered even more. The thought that her kids might be in trouble was a huge problem. "Edwin, my children! My babies! My babies are missing." She cried. "Find them! Find them!" Edwin hugged her. "I'm sorry, let me inform my investigator." Edwin dialed the private investigator immediately. He stepped out to speak to him. "Mr. Turner. I'm quite surprised to hear from you now. I have done what you asked me to do." The man said. "Not about that. Look, my kids are missing. I need you to help me find them." Edwin said. "I'm a computer hacker and software investigator, anything that happens in the physical world is not my job. You need to inform the police or hire a private detective." The man said. "Look, I need you to help me track the driver's number. I will report to the police, yes. But I want
